NORÐURFLUG CELEBRATES 20 YEARS: TWO DECADES AT THE FOREFRONT OF HELICOPTER TOURS IN ICELAND
For two decades, Norðurflug has offered helicopter tours over Iceland’ s most striking natural wonders, carving out a strong and respected position within Icelandic tourism.
As the company marks its 20th anniversary, it reflects on a journey defined by safety, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to professionalism.
Founded with a clear vision to offer unforgettable aerial experiences while maintaining the highest operational standards, Norðurflug has grown steadily in a competitive and demanding industry. From volcanic landscapes and glaciers to remote highlands and coastal formations, the company has given guests a rare and privileged perspective of Iceland— one that few ever experience from the ground.
At the same time, Norðurflug honours Birgir Ómar, CEO, who led the company for many years with clarity, dedication, and strategic foresight. His leadership played a central role in shaping Norðurflug’ s values and long-term success, guiding the company through periods of growth while always prioritising safety and quality.
On this milestone anniversary, Norðurflug extends its sincere thanks to its customers for their trust, and to its staff for their dedication and professionalism. The company’ s achievements are the result of collective effort— pilots, engineers, ground crew, and administrative staff— each contributing to a culture of excellence that has remained consistent over twenty years.
FROM ONE HELICOPTER TO AN INDUSTRY LEADER
Operations began with a single helicopter two decades ago. Today, Norðurflug operates three aircraft and stands among Iceland’ s leading providers specialising in helicopter tours. This growth has never been rushed; instead, it has been carefully planned and built on a strong operational foundation, ensuring reliability and safety at every stage.
Over the years, Norðurflug has welcomed thousands of guests from around the world, offering tailormade experiences and exceptional service. This success is reflected in customer feedback, with more than 1,500 five-star ratings across platforms such as TripAdvisor, Google, and GetYourGuide.
Looking ahead, Norðurflug remains focused on continued development and innovation, strengthening its position as a trusted leader in Icelandic helicopter tourism. With twenty years behind it and a clear vision for the future, the company is well positioned for the next chapter of its journey.
